Application filed August 27, 1921. Serial No. 196,079.` l

To all whom it may concer/1,.'

Be it known that l, CHARLES H. METZ, a citizen ot the United States, residing at Canton, in the county ot Stark and State ott Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vater ljectors, o't' which the following is a speciiication.

The invention relates to an ejector 'valve for water or other liquids which may also be used as a supply valve; and the object` of the improvement is to actuate thefvalve by an endwise reciprocating movement as dis-v tinguished from a rotaryniovement.

.A practical embodiment ot the invention is illustrated iii the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation section showing the valve in ejecting position; and

Fig. 2, a similar section showing the valve in supply position.

Similar numerals refer to like parts throughout the drawings.

The caseB is in the form of a tubular cross, the upper inlet end 4l of which may be secured by a union socket 5 with a faucet or vother, source of water supply under pressure g and the lower outlet end 6 ot' which forms a discharge nozzle for water.

One transverse end 7 of the tubular cross is closed by a wall 8, and the other end 9 of the cross is open to receive the tubular `valve 10, and is provided with a` packing.

boX 11 in which is located a suitable packing- 12, for frictionally engaging the valve and sealing` the o ening of the case around the valve.

A guide and stop pin 13 extends inward from one side of the case and may be in the form of a screw or tapered pin driven through the side thereof; and a longitudinal Vslot 14 is provided in lthe same side of the valve for engaging the pin and guiding the valve from rotation and limiting its endwise movements. l l v Upon the outer free end of the valve is secured a hose 15 or other tiibul'ar'extension which may extend to a tub or other receptacle, by means of which the valve is adapted to be pushed inward and outward in the cylindric seat formed by the cross tube of the case, within the limits permitted by the guide pin 13 and the slot 14.

A relatively small port 16 is provided in the upper wall of the vvalve anda larger port 17 is provided in its lowerwall; which ports are so alined with each other, that when the valve is pulled to its outward posiunder pressure is suppliedto the inlet end of lthe case, the saine will pass downward ina small stream throughthe upper smaller port and vthence downward through the lower longer port into the discharge nozzle, and will form asuctlon in the valve l() and the yhosel which will draw water from a receptacle into which the end of. the hose may:

be immersed and will eject yit through the outlet end 6 of the valve case.

wall of the valve adjacent lto the smaller A large port 18 is provided in the upper port 16 in suoli a position thatqwhen the i valve is pushed inward to the limit of its movement, this port will'register `with the upper end for the tubular case, and the other ports 16 and 17 will be closed bythe cross end 7 of the case; so that when water is supplied under pressure to the upper end 4f. of the case, the lsame will pass through the valve and will be discharged through-the "hose into a receptacle, as may be desired. l

The valve l() is neatly fitted into the seat formed by the cross tube of the case, and the packing 11 serves by rictional` engageient to hold the valve in a given position;

so that the valvel can be operated from one position to another by` merely pushing or "pulling the same by meansvo'l the hose jas a handle. 1t is furthermore `evident that the position of the valve will not be affected in the manipulation of the/hose.

I claim :-y An ejector including a tubular cross case `with a supply'connection at its inlet end andY a discharge nozzle at its outlet end,` a tu- I bular valve slidable endwisein thecrosscase by any twisting of the hose which may occurv valve alined with the inletand outlet ends of l the case when the valve is'at one limito its endwise movement, `and' another port in the endwise movement.
